I've now been able to get one remote client to work correctly. It is the
java based LDAPBrowser available from
http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~gawor/ldap/index.html
In order to get it working with SSL, I needed java's ssl libraries from
http://java.sun.com/products/jsse/index-102.html

I'm still interested in getting the ubiquitous mail clients such as OE
and netscape messenger to also work over ssl. I appreciate any help
regarding the same. Thanks in advance.
